wards the .sides, to disappear altogether in its lateral parts. The middle 

 part of the superior curved line is rather sharply pronounced, the muscu- 

 lar ridges of the occipital bone being otherwise moderately developed- 

 On the basal surface of the cranium (PI. III., fig. 2) it may be 

 noticed that the foramen magnum is relatively small, folioform, with 

 the point at the back; the condyles, whose forward ends somewhat 

 approach one another, seem, on the other hand, to have been rather 

 large. The mastoid processes have also been well developed. The 

 jugular foramen is considerably wider on the right side than on the 

 left; a special emissary foramen for the inferior petrosal sinus was 



found on both sides. The gle- 

 noid fossae for the lower jaw 

 are quite large; the pharyn- 

 geal tubercle well developed. 

 The choanae are of medium 

 size. 



In a face-view (Text- 

 fig. 13 and PI. II., fig. 1) the 

 slight breadth of the frontal 

 region is especially striking. 

 The shortest distance between 

 the temporal crests is only 

 92 mm. and its relation to 

 the greatest cranial breadth 

 is expressed in the unusually 

 low parieto-f rental index of 

 61. 33. The frontal bone has, 

 as before said, feeble emi- 

 nences and is moderately 

 arched. The glabella project fairly over the root of the nose and the 

 superciliary ridges are well developed in their medial parts. 



On account of the defective condition of the lower jaw and the 

 injuries to the alveolar processes and the left zygomatic arch, the pro- 

 portions of the facial skeleton may be determined only approximately. 

 The upper facial index (according to Kollmann) may be calculated at 

 50., by which it stands exactly on the border between charaaepro- 

 sopy and leptoprosopy; the index of the entire face was probably mo- 

 deratly chamaeprosopic. The breadth from one zygomatic arch to the 

 other is indeed slight in relation to the maximum breadth of the cranium,
